The Muthaship:Damn right he is. But, most of Fark will be loathe to admit it. I won't be surprised if we have some people come in and speak ill of him in one way or another.

Dad's a white honest cop (stories from friends and strangers of "fairer than actual law" treatment) so I usually can't frequent these threads. I'm just so shocked that he was issued a revolver and endured this fight. Almost no capability of reloading in that frantic of an environment.

Getting shot doesn't necessarily make you a hero: sometimes it just makes you unlucky. But this guy put himself in danger to protect others even after getting shot multiple times, and that makes him a hero in my book.

Let's be honest. The revolver was not his problem. It's pretty damn hard to reload any firearm while some is shooting you over and over again. The only way he wasn't going to get shot is if he walked out that squad car with a M60.

He must have known the score and did what he did anyway. The man is a real hero.
